    Best edition of Gamma world?

    My only problem with the Gamma World version for 4e DnD was the randomly changing mutations. When we played a short campaign (I think it lasted 3 sessions), we ditched that aspect, and otherwise really enjoyed it (even though I disliked 4e D&D).

    Hmmm.... I already have a pulsing volcanic eruption creating day and night... it both creates the "force" sky and the energy that makes it glow during the day. I have small "star crystals" that slowly get pushed further "out" over time as the daily eruption cycle happens. I suppose the moon...

    That's cool info to know! I wonder, since I'm planning to use dragons a LOT in this world, what a creature a mile high in the air could see? How far? Maths is my absolute weak point, so I can't even try to work it out...

    D&D 3.x Edition Experience - Did/Do you Play 3rd Edtion D&D? How Was/Is it?

    I've played every edition of DnD. 3.5 (with my house rules) is the one that I can do what I like with. My group knows the rules, my campaign world is written for 3.5. We played 4e, 5e, and 2e. 3.5 is the one for us. And I own SO MUCH stuff. I have so many databases that I've created (spells...

    Ummm... I'm not so worried about circles and planes... I'm just thinking if you existed on what was effectively a mobius strip, would you think of it as a circle? No matter how it could be drawn out? I'm thinking maybe there are two discs; upside and downside. One is the opposite of the other in...

    Heh, Athas is one of those things I've never read, so any resemblance is totally coincidental.

    I know I want the Star-crystals to be required for any and all permanent magic item creation (this will be a 3.5e campaign, using E8 rules mods that I've developed). I'm also sort of thinking that the "raw" crystals are mutagenic - being exposed to them for longish (months) periods of time is...

    Well, now with plenty of time to spend thinking about things, I've come up with a few more ideas for this world, but I am now kind of stuck, mentally, trying to figure out how adventuring would happen, and why.... so let me tell you what I've visualized, and if you all can help me over my...

    D&D General The campaign you will never get to run

    Ah, very different! Interesting how it all comes down to the same skillset, though. I hope this horrible virus scare is not disrupting your library too much. We're closed for at least two weeks, though we staff are all still going in.

    D&D General The campaign you will never get to run

    I think a lot of Librarians are roleplayers - most of the staff either do play/have played or would play if given a chance... what sort of Library do you work in? I'm a public reference Librarian (26+years) and I've gotten to run a few games disguised as work!

    D&D General The campaign you will never get to run

    I want to run a game at the Library where I work, for library patrons. It would be set in a vast half-ruined city where they are watchmen learning to defend their community from what lurks in the sewers, alleys, rooftops and guildhalls.

    Any old timers out there willing to help with a Master's thesis?

    And having read the rest of the thread, we are currently playing 3.5e, Epic 8 variant. I have a massive campaign wiki, here: Vishteer Campaign / FrontPage which is as close to published as I have time for.

    Any old timers out there willing to help with a Master's thesis?

    Demographic: 55, white female, graduate degree, married, no kids. Started at age 11 in 1976 when my older brother brought the game home from boy scouts. Never stopped playing. Met my husband of 37 years while playing DnD. It is my creative “writing“ outlet. I mostly DM, tho I love to play. The...

    The stars: there are sparkling spots embedded in the sky. They only show up at night, and seem to have their own internal light source. Over hundreds of years, it has been observed that these stars move gradually outward, towards the rim of the world. Otherwise, the night sky does not change...

    Here is what I've jotted down so far, if anyone is interested: My Flat World This world is a flat,round disc. It is the ONLY thing in its universe. There is no "outside", only what exists as described here. The world is about 2000 miles across. It is about 4 miles thick. The surface area of...

    That's really good... what sort of villains would Tabaxi make, even? They seem more victim than aggressor. And any individual Rakshasa is a fine villain, but they're too solitary, too arrogant, to be team players and form any sort of villainous power. I suspect Dragons would be the...
